The Talleyrand correspondence, which we spoke of a short' time since as having been tied up and put away for another quarter of a century, owing to the will of the late posessor, is now on its way to ' England for cafe keeping until the time I shall arrive when it may be published. A priest in Posen has lately been sentenced by the Prussian Government to i three month's imprisonment for having ' introduced political subjects in one of his sermons. An Enthusiastic Prince.— l now led an extraordinary wild and active life, which nevertheless suited my youthful taste right well for a short time. Frequently, at six o'clock in the morning, were Dussek and I roused from our beds and conducted in dressing-gown and slippers to the reception saloon, where the Prince wa 8 already seated at the pianoforte in yet lighter costume, the beat being then very great, and, indeed, it\ his shirt and drawers only. Now began the practice and rehearsal of the music that was intended to be played in the evening circles, and, from the Prince's zeal, this lasted frequently so long that in the meantime the saloon was filled with officers decorated and bestarred .

The relatives of the murdered man were incensed at this lenient verdict, aud one of his brother! proclaimed the vendetta in court, stabbed the prisoner's brother as he was leaving it, and snatching a gendarme's sabre attempted to cut down the prisoner herself. He was secured, and justified what he had done on the plea that the law not having done his brother justice, his family were bound to take the law into their own hands.— Home News.
